Lot Essay

‘Letting a thing come, rather than creating it – no assertions, constructions, formulations, inventions, ideologies – in order to gain access to all that is genuine, richer, more alive: to what is beyond my understanding’ (G. Richter, quoted in H. U. Obrist (ed.), The Daily Practice of Painting: Writings and Interviews 1962-1993, London 1993, pp. 119-120).
